This happened at Ekeberesi village, Kenyenya in Kisii County.

Locals say that it all started when the man started fighting his wife for denying to give him Sh 100.

"He was demanding Sh 100 from his wife and when she refused to give her be started figting her. That is when the man took a knife and stubbed his daughter," said Erick Momanyi, a local.

Mr Momanyi said that locals caught up with the man who had gone into hiding and lynched him.

According to him, it happened so fast that by the time police officers arrived at the scene the man was already dead.

Kenyenya police boss Isaac Thuranira confirmed the incident and asked locals not to be taking action into their own hands.

"If we have a problem it is good when we report the matter instead of taking action into our own hands," he said.

The body of the deceased was then taken to the Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital.
